Drums

Drums

I hear the drums of war beating
And know the time is near
One day we will look out the window
And see Jesus Christ standing there

The signs of the prophesies
Are very clear to all
Many knows its here 
But only few will answer the call

For god has promise mankind
The glory of his kingdom
And the gates are always open
  just open your hearts and come

He promise not to destroy the world again
So he gives Mohammad a message
But still so many fanatics
Brings bloodshed and carnage

Don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah
When he turns Lot’s wife to salt
So why do false prophets think
God will forgive their faults


And John the Baptist
A lonely voice in the wilderness
They take off his head 
Because he condemns their wickedness

The drums of war will keep on beating
Regardless of what the holy books say
And the suffering of mankind will continue
Until Jesus comes one day

The birds are outside singing
Bright sun and clear blue skies
A sight so beautiful 
But nothing compare to paradise 

I know I will not go there
My life had some ups and downs
So many times throughout the years 
I did some rights and wrongs

And I may have hurt some people
By doing the right thing at the wrong time
When all I had was good intensions
But they could not read my mind

Time to go I have a pot on the fire
I like to cook everyday
So I will save my pen and paper
To write another day
